My car got keyed from the front passenger fender to the middle of the passenger door at Victoria Ward center on my second week of ownership. Luckily my comprehensive insurance deductible is only $100. I just had it repaired professionally at Central Auto Body, because most of the damage went down to the primer and almost bare metal.

Sorry to hear about your car. I know how it feels. Is your insurance deductible too high for a professional repair to make sense?

If the scratch is deep enough to catch your fingernail I would skip the sanding part and just touch up with a very fine brush. Get some thinner to thin up the touch up paint because it's probably too thick and it will give you extra time applying it before gumming up. Unless you really know what you're doing, the sanding can make it much worse. BTW, what color is your car? Metallic paint will not blend very well. If you have white or black is should turn out pretty good.

I have never went back to ward again.

Oh god sorry to hear that happened to you too lol. Something about that place... I like the food at Ryans but it's just not worth it sometimes lol. Now if I go there with the 335i I park all the way on the 6th floor, or I just drive my Honda Fit lol.
